Your Story Counselling & Associates

Mandy Paget

My name is Mandy Paget.
I am a Counsellor and Director of Your Story Counselling Service

Diploma in Professional counselling
Registered Provisional Member of NZAC
Standard Member of DAPAANZ.

I bring to the sessions the drive for success by walking beside my clients for their growth and insight. During my time of Therapy, working through Child Abuse, Sexual assault, and Mental and Physical abuse, I was able in my journey to rebuild myself; I challenged my addiction to alcohol, my dangerous decision-making, and my mental well-being. Now I like to think I am my unique self, honest, and, as some past clients have said, persistent. I recognise we are all different, and the strength I have is that I, too, have walked the path. You will find me full of complete confidentiality, empathy, compassion, understanding and honesty in your story. I have felt over my time that being true to whom you are and keeping things natural are essential factors.

I understand that in one’s journey, you will have times when you are not ready to move further forward and need time to process the progress you have made so far.

Modalities that I work from: Mindfulness, Solution Focus Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). It is what Therapy best sits with you, the client, on what makes the process move forward.
What areas have I worked with: Addiction, Depression, Mental Well-Being, Suicidal Ideation, Self-harm, Anxiety, Anger management, Relationship issues, Workplace bullying, Grief, Trauma.
